They had a really good coach too.
This list must be under KK, he had no fire, i am tired of beating Portland, N. Arizona type schools for talent, the list shows you why they chose UNLV.
UNLV needs kids from good basketball schools who were over recruited and chance to play and develop.
No game at all, except around the basket, no rebounding nothing.
He's a nice lower player in WCC or big west, he be good at Pepperdine etc type of team.
The recruiting by KK, basically stunk, not as bad as his coaching.
Couldn't compete against players his size. No elevation and couldn't rebound. He did do ok against smaller competition. Would of been a good bench player on a top 25 team wish him well. I won't miss the 50 % free throw shooting.
I hope Pastner is true to his word with wanting to play high-tempo because watching this Alabama team makes me sad that we missed out on Hodgson. Alabama's offense is very modern and sexy
For such a crappy team we had, we sure have lots of guys who think they showed enough to get more money. I think we would have seen similar even if Kevin was retained.
I tell you what I don’t want and that is a bunch of 4 and 5 star talent that only gets up for playing UNC or other ranked teams in November and December but can’t beat Wyoming, CSU, AFA, or UNR come January and February because they are not motivated!
We have seen that movie here before and some are still hanging their UNLV hats on teams from 10-15 years ago, coached by a nice guy who could not coach his way out of paper bag!
People automatically equate "recruiting" to the stars next to a players name like we're freaking Kentucky or Kansas. There are plenty of mid-major players that are good players that can lead you to a tournament
We have to build basically an entire roster. Majority will be guys like these who will accept a role coming off the bench. We'll see some more sought after guys mentioned here shortly. But we know how this goes. A ton of "offers" will be out there.
